Accidentally in Love
Chapter Four: Pirika's Plan
Usui Pirika sighed deeply as she walked to the small coffee shop she would soon be meeting Tamao at. Her brother was convinced that the meeting was about schoolwork, but in truth it was the exact opposite. The meeting was about both girls' boyfriends and their unseen feelings for each other.
Pirika found herself thinking about this a great deal. True, she did love Ren. But, love was wanting the person to be happy. And, if Pirika didn't make him happy, didn't she not owe it to him to allow him to be with the person that made them happy? And, unfortunately she wasn't that person. But, she knew a person that could make him happy.
It'd just take some work to get him to admit he loved this person. But, Usui Pirika was always up for a good challenge. And, if it meant losing the one boy she ever really loved, than that was the price she'd pay. At least, she could see the two most important people in her life be happy. And, that was what was important.
The young blue-headed teenager sat quietly in a metal seat, placed outside on the streets in front of the coffee shop their meeting was to be held. 'Tamao should be arriving any minute.' The young Ainu thought as she checked her watch.
She knew, that right now, at this very moment her brother and her boyfriend were in the middle of a tutoring session. If she knew her boyfriend and his obsession with school and making good grades, she knew her brother was being put through hell at this very moment.
Suddenly her sky blue eyes widened, "That's it!" She said slamming her fist on the table.
"What's it?"
Pirika blinked, a grin evolving on her face, "I know a way to get them together, Tamao-chan." She paused, "That is, if you're willing to break it off with Onii-chan."
Tamao sighed before slowly nodding, "I've been thinking about that ever since you invited me out." She said quietly, "I won't deny that I love him, but he doesn't love me the way he loves Ren."
Pirika nodded, "I know exactly how you feel." She whispered, "For them to be truly happy, they can't be with us. We're holding them back from being with each other."
Tamao nodded in agreement, "But, what about Ren? He'll deny that he's in love with HoroHoro until there's no breath left in his body."
Pirika grinned, "Oh I know, but he just needs a little convincing." She paused, her smile ever widening, "Leave that part to me."
Tamao nodded once more, "And there'll be no need to convince your brother. He just has to admit his feelings for him."
"Excuse me, Miss? What can I get you?" A young male waiter asked, smiling lightly to the two girls.
Pirika nodded quickly, "It's a good thing Ren is Onii-chan's tutor." She paused as she looked at the menu when a waiter came to her table, "I'll just have a glass of water, please." She said to the waiter before turning back to Tamao, "I figure I can break up with Ren and put the idea of him being gay into his head, then you can break up with Horo."
Tamao slowly nodded, "I can do that." She said with a smile, "Oh, I'll have some tea, please." She said to the waiter, who bowed politely and left. "Then we'll leave them to it!"
Pirika nodded, "Yes and hopefully, by Homecoming they'll be together." She said smiling widely, "Because I don't know what I'd do if I had to talk Ren into taking me again." She added with a soft chuckle.
"Oh I know, it was murder trying to get Horo to where a tux. I was so worried about Prom." Tamao said with a smile.
Pirika nodded, "I think all of us girls should just go as one big group, " She grinned, "After all, there's always break ups at dances."
Tamao stifled a giggle, "Yes, and who knows, Horo and Ren might show up."
Pirika giggled as well, "Then I'll have to get pictures for the year book since this school seemingly doesn't have a problem with gay people."
Tamao nodded, "You know? I mean with Hao-kun and Yoh-kun prancing around. There's always a herd of fan girls following them."
Pirika laughed as her drink was set on the table, "That is so true, do you have any idea how hard it is to tutor Hao?"
Tamao shook her head, "I would imagine if Yoh wasn't there, quite easy, ne?"
Pirika slowly shook her head, "He is the most touchy feely person I've ever meant. I had to let him bring Yoh so he'd stop copping feels on me!"
Tamao laughed, "I can imagine that." She laughed, glancing at her watch, "Oh no, I got to go. I promised Anna-san that I'd help Yoh-kun with his homework." She said as she stood up.
Pirika nodded, "Yeah, I better get home. I got to make sure Onii-chan and Ren haven't destroyed the apartment." She said with a small grin.
Tamao chuckled, "Alright, see you at school. We're starting this tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, so be ready, ok?" Pirika said as she gathered her things and stood up from the table.
Tamao nodded as she began to walk away, throwing one last wave over her shoulder.
Pirika sighed deeply, "Well, here we go." She said to herself as she too began walking home.
